Attorney answers:
Can i move out of state while on probation?
You need to ask your probation officer for a transfer under the interstate compact. If your probation officer will not facilitate your transfer, you need to write a letter (file a motion) to the judge, explaining the situation and asking for a hearing. The judge makes the final decision and can order the probation department to either apply for your transfer under the interstate compact or change your probation to unsupervised and to an amount of time so that no interstate compact approval is...

Attorney answers:
Domestic violence job prevention law
Every employer has different policies. There is no general law preventing someone from hiring you. If that was your first offense, you should check and see if you had a deferred judgment and sentence. If you did and the case was ultimately dismissed, you could be eligible to seal your criminal history. Sealing your criminal history would generally prevent most, if not all, potential employers from ever knowing about your case. The short answer though to your question is that there is no clear...

What is on my background from a pre-trail case?
If your case was in Colorado, you can order your colorado criminal history online at www.cbirecordscheck.com. It costs $6.85 and you will receive it instantly. If the charges were dropped and CBI does not show that on your record, you can get a certified copy of the dismissal from the court and provide it to CBI and they will update your record. There is no expungement available in colorado for adults, only juveniles. if the case was dismissed, you are probably eligible to seal your criminal...

Attorney answers:
What happens if i go to court for a dui before i have my hearing for the dmv?? is this good or bad i had the court date switched
Your court date and the DMV hearing have nothing to do with each other, but DUI is a serious crime. I strongly encourage you to hire an attorney before your DMV hearing. While they have nothing to do with each other, they each have serious ramifications for your driver's license and your criminal history. Do not represent yourself in this kind of serious case.

Attorney answers:
Deportation
I agree with Matthew's answer. Your husband probably needs both a criminal defense attorney and an immigration attorney or at least have his criminal defense attorney be consulting with an immigration attorney. Your husband has a lot at stake. He cannot afford to finish his case without a lawyer.

Attorney answers:
How can I get my license back after receiving a minor in possession charge in state of Colorado
You really need to contact a criminal defense attorney personally. Unfortunately, originally you probably should have been reinstated after doing 24 hours of useful public service, but you have to send in your reinstatement application and the reinstatement fee. When you got the second charge, if you plead to any moving violation, then you bought yourself an additional year of revocation even if you didn't plead to driving under revocation. You should hire a criminal defense attorney who is...

Attorney answers:
What consequences will I face for missing a court hearing for shoplifting, what can i do
Yes, your charge is still active. You probably have a bench warrant for your arrest with a small bond. You should contact a criminal defense attorney in Denver. An attorney can usually find out if there is a warrant for you and then help you get the case resolved.

Attorney answers:
Will my domestic violence and criminal mischief charges be dropped if my husband (victim) does not show up for court?
Depending on the situation, it actually may be dismissed if there is no victim present at trial; however, your husband will probably be under subpoena to testify and may have serious ramifications if he ignores the subpoena. You can ask that the case be dismissed, but most likely it will not result in a dismissal. If your husband does not have any priors, he may be offered a deferred judgment and sentence which can ultimately result in a dismissal. Your husband should hire a criminal defense...

Attorney answers:
Domestic violence charge
You cannot get the case sealed unless it was dismissed. If you received a deferred judgment and sentence and then successfully completed it, then the case should have dismissed and you may be eligible to seal your criminal history. If you actually received a conviction, then, under the Brady Law, you cannot possess a firearm. You should contact a criminal defense attorney in your area to determine if you can possess a firearm and whether you can petition to seal your criminal history.

Attorney answers:
Domestic Violence
You should call the Victim's Coordinator in the District Attorney's Office for the county that is prosecuting your boyfriend. The judge cannot deport him, only the Immigration and Naturalization Service can. He should have an immigration attorney in addition to a criminal defense attorney. It is difficult for you to get the case dismissed, but you should express your wishes to the District Attorney's Office. If they tell you that you cannot ask for the case to be dismissed, don't believe them....
